Portal with RTX is a unofficial remastered version of Portal developed by Nvidia Lightspeed Studios, which takes advantage of newer hardware and adds raytracing support, PBR textures, new high-poly models and much more.
It was released for free on December 8, 2022, for anyone who owns Portal on Steam. The game was developed using the RTX Remix tools, and runs on Vulkan hooked on top of DirectX 7 feature level[1].
It is only optimized for system with Nvidia GeForce RTX graphic cards. Users with AMD graphics card (including 
Steam Deck, which uses 
AMD RDNA 2 like most 9th gen consoles) may suffer from performance issues, when trying to run this game even with high-end card.
Portal RTX received mixed reviews at launch due to various reasons like the performance issues affecting some NVIDIA cards (and unplayable on systems with AMD Radeon), and the art-style & lighting seems out of place (which itself was based off Portal 2 instead of Portal 1 which looked more dirty).
Via Portal with RTX you can use RTX remix with Half life 2 and other source titles via loading the files a tutorial can be found here
